Creating your own track

[Vampyre]

I bought the Microsizers Guide Rails and Pylon Set.

Has anyone created a track using these, I was thinking about getting an 8 x 4 foot plywood table, and painting it grey and setting up different mini tracks, and also solo SCCA type events.

I want the digital lap counter to time solo events, like going thru cones and then completeing the course in the fastest time

Rubber Track???
I seen a guy on Ebay selling these rubber mats that were cut out to form a track, has anyone here tried that?

Thanks

Those sets are useless. They don't do anything, you just drive over them when you go off course.

I dunno what part of new york your in but you can by those foam mats (6 2x2 mats) for $13.99 at bj's wholesale clubs. You can also find them at homedepot for $20 (4 2x2 mats). They are called anti fatigue mats and they are interlockable. I think they are the perfect track surface for the money.
You should take a look at the track forums for ideas on track material and design.

Hey Dr1zz, how big are the squares you made your track with?

sessiz10,

are those mats the ones that kids use to play on and they come in cool colors? they look a little bumpy to me if that's what your talking about. or is it something else? could you post a pic or something or email one to me. ty bro!

[sessiz10]

I have seen these mats come in multi colors but they're not bumpy at all. The texture is sorta like suede (sp?). Makes for a good grippy surface.

Here's a pic.
